News about the British Nordic Development Squad and British Nordic Ski Team

Mussy Does it again (and again)

Andrew Musgrave has been having an oustanding week at the Norwegian championships, on Thursday he came in second place against a field of Norway’s best skiers including Peter Northug. This has caused considerable consternation and soul searching in the Norwegian press.  Read more about this at the BNDS website. Apparently BBC sport were not interested in this story although they were aware of it!

On Saturday Andrew continued his excellent form with a 5th place in the Norwegian Championships 30km Skiathlon. Lying 21st after the classic leg he skied the 3rd fastest skate time to pull back to 5th overall.

Rick has contacted me to highlight the Ming Endurance event which will be held on May 15. It has been very well attended in the last few years . There are two courses to choose from and there is also the Ceilidh in the evening.  The endurance event is free with donations to British Nordic Development Squad. The Ceilidh is also in aid of BNDS, tickets from Rick.
